Geisha Girl (oz3550)

About this Plan

Geisha Girl. 54in span control line stunt model. Model Aircraft, March 1960.

Quote: "A 'do the book' .29 stunt model with attractive semi-scale appearance. Geisha Girl, by Ray Brown.

THE 'Lee Bees Controliners' club needs no introduction to C/L stunt fliers, and one of their most prolific builders is Ray Brown, whose Zero inspired Geisha Girl we feature this month. Despite its scalish appearance the Geisha will easily perform the stunt schedule. To date Ray has won the stunt contests at the Beauleiu and Godalming rallies, come second at Enfield and only lost the Gold by 2-1/2 points!

Constructional Notes. Cut formers from 1/8 in balsa as shown on the plan. Bolt the undercarriage between the ply-formers. Select two sheets of pliable medium soft 3/32 in sheet for the sides and cut to a shape slightly wider than shown on plan. Fix the 1 mm ply doublers with impact glue but do not cut out the wing slots at this stage. Bind the sides to the formers with Sellotape and cement well, allow to set hard before removing the Sellotape.

Add the motor mounts and tank at this stage. Fill in between the mounts and sides with scrap balsa. (Note: before cutting wing slots add silk or rayon to inside as shown on plan.) The tail wheel assembly is now fixed between the sides before adding the bottom block.

Build the wing in two halves, and begin cutting out two sets of ribs sandwich fashion. Fix the ribs to the lckwer main spar and lower TE first, then add LE, top main spar and 1/8 in square along the TE before fixing the tip..."
